    How does putting fairings on change the engine?

    For some reason its reminding me of a Vstrom/GS500 and SV1000 all squished together.

    I'd have one, but not in the blue/white.

    The guy from Sportsbikes.nz is / was selling his fully faired SV. I looked at the aftermarket fairings but basically the essence of the original design was a half fairing, the faired SV looks okayish but i doubt many would plump for it

    as the blurb says this limited model is to mark the 20th anniversary of the GSXR range. Now i can understand suzuki releasing the limitied edition K4 GSXR 600 and 750 to mark 20 years of this bike, (in fact i nearly bought the 600 in the limited colours, but decided blue wasn't me).

    But can someone please tell me how sticking a full fairing on a SV1000 and painting it blue and white and calling it a 20th anniversary GSXR edition makes any sense.

    Whats the thinking there, I mean surely people buy SV 'cus of the v twin the TL1000 heritige, the torque, the fact its not an inlinefour supersports, you name it - so by making it look like a GSXR and alluding to the GSXR past is just daft, and I suspect something that will turn potential buyers away
    .
    If they had a bunch of spare fairings at the factory they should have released it under its own limited edition, which had nothing to do with the GSXR, and then they might shift a few more. Personally I think it looks good, but its sending out mixed messages.

    well if she was leaking, had a dirty exhaust port and a chipped sump, a mini skirt might be a tad disturbing!
